It’s well known that a new, healthy smile can be transformative. Dental implant patients share about being able to eat their favorite foods, show off their smile, and enjoy improved dental health. For many, these changes from a full mouth restoration are only the beginning.
Randee and Sharanna, two dental implant patients, share the different ways their lives changed unexpectedly from dental implants. Think this could be your story?
Don’t put off the lifestyle you wish you had - See if you may be eligible for a full mouth restoration with this 60-second quiz.
What is a Full Mouth Restoration?
Full mouth restoration, also known as full mouth reconstruction or rehabilitation, involves comprehensive dental treatment to rebuild or replace all of a patient’s teeth.
Depending on where you go and how you get your full mouth restoration, this can be a lengthy process. However, it doesn’t have to be.
At Nuvia, you can get your permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Unlike traditional methods of getting dental implants that give you temporary teeth for what may be up to 10+ months until the permanent ones can be placed, Nuvia provides custom, permanent teeth in 24 hours after your dental implant procedure.
Unexpected Side Effects of a Full Mouth Restoration
There are plenty of life changing benefits that dental implants have to offer - but these ones might surprise you:
Losing Weight
Before getting his full mouth restoration, Randee was very limited in the foods he was able to eat.
He shares how salads and other healthy options that he enjoyed were just impossible with his teeth. He also recalls how he often would need to swallow his food without being able to properly chew it - this all changed when he got dental implants.
After the initial recovery phase and getting used to all the foods he could now eat, Randee began to improve his health and quickly lose weight, even being advised by his physician to slow down.
How was he able to do this? He says “it was just a change in diet and the access of what I could, again, process. I could chew now. I didn't have to smash things or swallow them whole.
And the whole world has opened up to me. I have not encountered one thing that I cannot eat and not not even think about it.”
The limitations from his teeth before dental implants made losing weight difficult. With more options and the ability to eat healthier foods, Randee was able to lose 40 lbs.
Improved Digestion
Being able to chew made all the difference for Randee and his weight loss goals. Chewing is also the first step in the digestive process, an area where Randee found even more unexpected benefits from his full mouth restoration.
“I pretty much for nine years lived on mac and cheese and, you know, soft foods like that. It was all that I could eat because I obviously couldn't chew.
My term that I always used was ‘I can't process it’. And what that meant to me was I had to use my tongue to basically smash everything on the roof of my mouth to get it as safe as I could to swallow.
I developed stomach problems actually from not being able to chew my food.”
Investing in Herself, Sharanna Was Able to Overcome A Depression
Like Randee, Sharanna had a weight loss journey after her full mouth restoration as well.
She describes a depression she was in before her new teeth and how it impacted her eating habits, “all this time that I really wanted to lose weight, I could never lose weight because I was going through a depression, and I was overweight, and I was just eating.
So now when I'm going through this process with Nuvia and this new smile, I was so invested in myself and this smile. Oh, I was on a journey then.”
For Sharanna, the weight loss came as she was more focused on her new smile and self improvement than she was on what she was eating.
“I think I was so excited about my teeth that I wasn't really focusing on food, not realizing while I'm walking every day with her on this challenge and, you know, getting compliments on my smile, just I look and my sister was like, sis, you losing weight. I was like, you think so? And when I just really started focusing on this, I'm like, I was down forty pounds”
Before and After Full Mouth Restoration
Sharanna and Randee both have incredible stories; however, they are just two patients who have had their lives changed by Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours.
There are countless other stories of how a full mouth restoration was the key to significant lifestyle changes for others.
From being able to eat a variety of foods, overcoming persistent dental struggles, and more fully enjoying social interactions, the stories of dental implant patients are inspiring.
